U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr says he would not enforce his recent ruling requiring lawyers for Southwest Airlines to attend "religious liberty training,” Reuters reports. Starr will decide whether to pause the ruling pending a misconduct complaint filed last week by Fix the Court, a judicial reform advocacy group. Starr is accused of violating the judicial code of conduct by assigning Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal group not involved in the case, to carry out attorney sanctions related to a religious bias case brought by a flight attendant against the airline.
